I haven't encountered this problem personally. I think most people are just playing for fun not to get their number higher.

The only feature from CM that I miss is the ability to hold the volume up button to skip to the next track (as a global option, not just a per-app thing). Everything else that they…

It was a non-commercial open source project at first. Then they decided to go found a company and get hardware partners to have CyanogenMod phones. The time to try it was like 3-4 …

The question is about who you trust and how you make sure that all the actors are being fair. Would you feel better if the government designed the machines? A lot of people would p…

Isn't this what the whole point of the free market is? Are there really more bad ideas for crappy products now than there were in the past? I mean, "snake oil salesman" used to be …

Duckduckgo? Don't know how much cash they have to throw around, though. Certainly not as much as Yahoo or Google, but maybe it'd be enough? I hope so, anyways.

>Wake up, People! The government is not here to fix your problems. And private firms with monopoly power aren't either.

It's maddening. >The real painful part of the process is caused by everything around React, including the build tools. Can't agree with that more. I really like the way react works…

The people who are affluent enough to buy all those gizmos and apps and educated enough/have enough leisure time to care are generally already the healthier ones.

The point is that they're not showing you what you wanted - if you search for Firefox, I'm pretty sure you don't want a malware-infested version. You want plain old regular malware…

Emacs is also from the 70s, so that's why what he said doesn't really make sense.

How is sublime fundamentally different? Sure, it might be shinier and easier to get into, but is it a different "paradigm"? No way. If anything, vim is the most unique editor with …

Can't they just have a stand on the back like the surface does? Doesn't really give you a "laptop" experience, but at least you can still set up shop on a table. Anyways, it sounds…

Looks like it uses https://github.com/kelvinh/org-page You can see an example and more info there

Holy shit

Ha ha what? This is awesome!

To be fair, I bet a lot of agencies would be ok with just having the keys at all times so that they can do surveillance. You could still have encryption for logins, financial trans…

Thanks for sharing - not really interested in the 3d stuff yet, but the fact that they're doing tutorials like this is amazing!

BEFOREHAND: close door, each window & exit; wait until time. open spellbook, study, read (scan, select, tell us); write it, print the hex while each watches, reverse its length, wr…

I think apps have just done a good job keeping you in their little walled garden - they don't want you browsing the web, checking other pages, etc. They want your eyeballs on their…

Why can't we see median? That's also a really good metric to have... in fact it arguably makes even more sense because salaries have a long tail on the higher end which inflates th…

Spying on other spying agencies seems like 100% fair game even if they are our allies. I don't think the NSA should be collecting massive amounts of data on ordinary citizens in a …

It's not. That's an "enhanced" color picture, meaning the colors you see include information from stuff like infrared images and whatnot. Maybe the contrast has been increased, or …

This is really infuriating... Microsoft, what the hell? I really hope steam machines take off (and stay relatively open). As soon as I'm happy with the number of games Linux suppor…
